Trump administration appeals latest ruling blocking his mail voting order from taking effect
Judge Indira Talwani said states lack time and money to change ballot systems before the first general-election mail ballots go out Sept. 4.
- On Friday, the Trump administration appealed a federal judge's ruling in Boston that blocked President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting for two weeks.
- U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the policy, finding that states lack the time or resources to redesign ballots, update systems, and train officials to upload voter data to the Postal Service.
- Under the executive order, the Postal Service could refuse to deliver ballots from states lacking uniform envelope styles. The White House calls these "commonsense measures" aimed at protecting ballot security.
- The Supreme Court previously allowed the plan to proceed on procedural grounds, though it has not decided on its legality. First general election mail ballots are scheduled to be sent on Sept. 4.
- Election officials continue preparing for the midterms despite ongoing litigation, as evidenced on August 18 in Doral, Fla., where workers sorted mail ballots for the primary election.
